Update on the Community Lot

At the Annual Meeting on February 21, 2017, the Membership voted to sell the Community Lot. We obtained an appraisal and two fair market analyses. We advertised the lot for sale in the News and Tribune and posted a sign on the lot for 30 days. We had 3 realtor inquiries, 2 potential buyer inquiries and 1 resident inquiry. As of November 1, 2017, the only offer to purchase has been from Land-Mill Development.

Sale was concluded on November 28, 2017. Purchased by Land-Mill for $15,000.

News from the Pool and Recreation Center: Bill Dehn, is our Keycards/Fitness Center Manager Bill is a real asset, not only in our neighborhood, but in the community, as he is active in his Masonic Lodge and the Kosair Shrine.

If you have not turned in a pool waiver, or your key card is not working, please don’t wait until the last minute to get ready to swim.
